This is the Java JNI module for using libzxid. This JNI module is
tightly integrated into the main ZXID project and distribution.
As the diretory name reflects, the package name is zxidjava so
you would do in your .java file:

  import zxidjava.*;

The Java stuff lives in

  zxidjava.jar            Classes to use zxid
  zxiddemo.war            Demonstration servlet ready to deploy

The Java JNI interface also needs the C library (which must be
found by dynamic linker):

  libzxidjni.so           C library implementing ZXID JNI interface
  zxidjni.dll             Windows version of the JNI
  zxid.dll                Windows version of ZXID core

> N.B. The .jar (or .war) DOES NOT contain libzxidjni.so.  You need to
> download and copy this file separately.  The .jar is platform
> independent. The libzxidjni.so (or zxidjni.dll) is platform
> dependent.

Please see for further information

  zxid/README.zxid
  zxid/INSTALL.zxid
  zxid/zxid-java.pd       Using ZXID from Java
  zxid/zxidsrvlet.java    Ready to use SSO servlet
  zxid/zxidappdemo.java   Example code for using SSO servlet
  zxid/zxidhlo.java       Example code for direct SSO integration

Install

  cd zxid-0.40
  make dep
  make                   # creates libzxid
  make javazxid
  make zxiddemo.war      # also builds zxidjava.jar
  cp zxiddemo.war ../apache-tomcat-5.5.20/webapps/
  # copy libzxidjni.so to place where dynamic linking finds it
  cp libzxidjni.so ../apache-tomcat-5.5.20/bin/
  # On Windows you need to copy zxid.dll and zxidjni.dll

Rather than program directly with the module, you probably
want to deploy it as a Servlet, e.g. in Tomcat. For this
the SSO servler is zxidsrvlet.java and an example payload
application using the SSO servlet is provided in
zxidappdemo.java

You can study both for source code, or use them as template
to develop your own code.

If you get compilation errors, check SERVLET_PATH and other variables
in Makefile (see zxid-java.pd and zxid-install.pd for details).

See zxid-java.pd (or html) for further information.
